Hi everyone.
3dyk team decided to make there plugin free.
yes the library is free now for all.
there are many trees grass flowers buildings and many other objects
but because of bandwidth problem we put it on rapidshare
you can download the plugin from its site
http://www.3dyk.net

I’ve downloaded this twice this morning and get a ‘broken file’ message when extracting part 2. Anyone had any success?

Max 2008, 2009, 2010
XP Pro 32 SP2
Xeon quad E5345 2.33Ghz
4Gb ram
Quadro FX 4600

I seem to be able to download both parts OK (though they appear to be identical) they even seem to install OK, though there is no sign of the plug-in in 3D Max. I’m installing for Max 2010 and have double checked that I’m installing into the correct plug-in folder but still nothing??

hi there
you have to install the plugin in stdplugs folder
regards

Creating duplicate threads is not allowed here - this thread is more than sufficient.

Max 4.2 through 2012 (SP2+SAP).
XP-64 (SP2)
NVidia 9800GTX-512 (Driver 266.58).
Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz, 8Gb Ram, DX9.0c.

Ok back on track now with the forum rules, however I am still no further on with installing this plug-in!

I unpacked the .rar into the stdplugs folder of Max 2010, told the installer to install to that folder during installation and even tryed running the scripts from in max after installation but still no joy. Could it be something to do with the rar files, they have different names and the packed sizes are different but the unpacked size is the same and the exe files just overwrite each other when unpacked??

the rar files are 100% ok after you unpack them you will have a exe install it in stdplugs folder
then if it doesn’t appear in max go to customize menu and then customize user interface then add a new menu then from action menu add YK_Paint to it that should help
regards

Ok I’m about ready to give up now.

Your right the .rar file does seem OK. The software seems to install Ok. Max creates a “YK Tools” menu but does’nt show it because the action you mention does not appear in the list. I have re-downloaded the rar’s, I have restarted both PC and Max and I have tryed to create the menu item myself - still no joy.

Anyone got any final ideas??

i put a fix on the plugin website its only 1 kb unrar it you will find a script file and a read text
explain the way to make it work

I will put a new installer that doesn’t need a fix within 3 or 4 days
Please feel free to tell friends about this plugin
Regards

Ok so the patch worked.............After a fashion!

I’m sorry but whilst this plug-in seems to offer a lot I feel its not quite there yet. Having performed the fix as instructed and set up the menu I was able to get Yk paint to work in Max 2010. However, a script error kept re-occuring and I wasn’t able to get any of the larger objects, trees, buildings, stones etc to work at all because of this. On a possitive note the grasses and some of the flowers worked with no script errors and did produce good results.

These good results would have been enough for me to keep using Yk paint........However the next time I came to open Max it crashed out and did so every time until I eventually removed Yk paint from the plug-ins.

So while very promising, I will be giving this a miss thanks, but I will watch out for future developments.
